grafters at from II to % cents per graft.
At such rates an active mar with an as

the operation of grating is SO simple that
any tree owner can easily learn it, and by
showing the habit of growth of the sort to

When he stops to consider this point the

THE ORCHARD.
HIS Ltttte Raspber,y Patch.


Thinking that his little experiment in
p%ropagating and cultivating a patch of
raspberries would interest many who are
fond of the berry, Mr.. Cooley, of Appleton,
says the Milwaukee Sentinel. has jotted
down his experiences for their benefit:
"Having q small plat in my garden, a space
100 feet in length by 90 III width, I con-
cluded to devote it to raspberries. Having
thoroughly prepared the ground l procured
good, healthy roots and staked each end of
the plat, SO as to have rows six feet apart.
l stretched a line from end to end of the
first line of stakes, and commenced setting
the roots, planting them one yard apart in
the row, which gave me about forty plants
to the row. I planted nine rows in the
whole, aggregating 800 plants, and by cut
of the root for the first years growth, which
l consider essential to the full develop
ment of the plant. After the plants got
well started, l mulched heavily with
coarse litter to smother out everything be-
tween the hills and rows, thus rendering it
an easy matter TO keep the ground clean.
l haven't plowed or cultivated the ground
since the first setting. My first work after
the picking season is over is to go through
and cut out all the old bearing wood, thus
giving the young plants NIL the chance pos
sible for next years crop. Icontine my
bushes by trellising, to prevent prostration
by storms and wind. My crop last year
marketed over 500 boxes, besides what was
used in the family md by the pickers, or
mn average of 1873 boxes to the row.. My
bushes suffered but little by the severity of
Inst winters extreme cold, which 1 attribute
to my cutting off the tops about Sept. 1.
thus rendering them hardly enough to VIM
ter we'll.

If the brass is much furnished, scour
first with vinegar and salt, or wood ashes
very finely powdered and mixsd with water
or kerosene. If you use the vinegar, wash
with clean hot suds as soon as the ternish is
removed, then lolish with whitening and
leather, but unless badly stained avoid the
acid. Remember that all metals cleaned
with acids tarnish again much more quickly
thar if cleaned without. For brasses

IN Easier,e Vic,c OF Ensuaoc,

Mr.. Edward Atkinson has lately written
from Il New England standpoint upon
Feeding, and particularly upon the use of
%enslIaee. In reference to this matter the
following will apply as well to the West as
10 Vermont, in all those regions where
Etock is fed in confinement. MI. Atkinson
Outs The matter Us follows:
The average daily consumption in
america by adults of farm dive stock)
PRODUCTS is 10 cents worth of meat, S cents,
worth of milk, butter, and cheese, and
half a cents worth of eggs. This makes
the annual consumption of the meat
product S1,S25, 0OO, 900, dairy product
k9l2, no, 900, egg product SOL, 600, 900.
Here it is shown that the egg product
Itself is greater than that of pig iron, wool,
and silver together.
II is the waste of good food to put corn
into pork. We never have enough eggs or
poultry. We never have enough beef; but
with Bismarck closing the doors of Ger
haauy against US the question is, what shall
I'VE TO with q pork? I nee thought pork
wa, con iensed corn. But corr in beef
saves protein and loses fat. Corn in pork
Doses protein and saves fat. In beef the
nutritious parts of the corn are reinforced;
bin pork they are merely lost. 1t needs no
expensive heterogeneous fertilizers. Made
into ensilage and fed to COWS, it returns to
the soil in manure, and leaves a farm at
the end Of ten years richer than it found it..
lS Just here that the agriculture Of the
Eastern and Middle States has so splendid
an outlook before it. We need to establish
beef factories rs We have established
cotton and wooden ones. I have been
laughed at Us a theorist for saying that two
steers can be fed to an acre. But Mr..
Smiths figures show that n acre can
support four. We want huge beef stables
of heavy timbers, with three-inch plank
sides, and slanting skylights, like the
factories built now on the siow-burning
principle of al underwriters. There is no
longer any need of our young men running
about looking for m occupation. Capital
and brains in the beef-factory business
means 2 cents profit a pound, and that
means l6 per cent. on the investment per
